Hi Nellie - there is some confusion here I think.
The choker was bought by Queen Mary.
Leslie Field (1992 pg 110) refers to "Queen Alexandra's Bracelet" as "a four-row pearl bracelet with a large sapphire and diamond clasp"
seen here (sort of)on her left wrist.
Fellow poster LDMJ suggests that perhaps my original picture is of QA's bracelet and not the choker.
They are 2 separate pieces. With out a better picture of QA's bracelet, it is hard to tell for sure.
Cheers!
Bryce
